I was having a conversation at work today with a staff member who had just announced she was leaving to follow her husband/partner to a new city. Without even giving it serious thought I asked her anxiously if she would be able to work there. (She will be able to.)
I was amused, but rather pleased, to shortly after hear another female staff member have exactly the same conversation, in the same tone.
Sometimes it is easy to focus on many ways feminism has apparently not impacted on many women’s lives, but the importance of being able to earn your own living, of not being financially dependant on a man, has really sunk in.
